The Zombies - Odessey and Oracle (full album)

The Meletron on this Album was left behind by John Lennon, after the recording of Sgt. Pepper.

It the masterpiece

Great record in fact I’m curious to know which critics were indifferent to its obvious merits. I’d thought
the lacklustre reception was due to the band splitting before they toured and promoted it

I added comment just to be 667 in a row, it was not polite to see 666 comments 👼

To be honest, other than the hit song it is on the tepid side. You would think with a name like The Zombies and that cover art, it would be more lively but it is very, very soft. Not bad songs but they could put you to sleep.

The full album puts 'Time of the Season' in perspective - but "Time' is still the best song, a classic of the 60s.

Wake up and listen to this great album...

What BS music. Sounds like AI generated crap

Sgt who?

I will listen to this album a few more times. Nice finding ahead of the weekend 🎉

Up there with pet sounds

Is this a re-recorded version?

Cet album est magistral .
Il a influencé tellement de groupes de rock après lui

Kinda sounds like BEACH BOYS with British accent

records like pet sounds are lauded way beyond their merits when this one is so much better and doesn't receive anywhere near the attention

this is awesome, never heard it before,!

I love the Zombies and Argent.

This is not underrated by music lovers. The work still shines as brightly as it did on its first release. A classic. Much loved.

She's Not There was a masterpiece of the 60s.Even Santana thought so.

Time of the Season is infinitely better than every other song on this album, easy to see why it was a hit.

just knowing the brilliant singles i always bet they had other great music in them. This first track is blowing my head off…wow…after one track I am already thinking this is the Great Lost Album. Beatles AND Beachboys. maybe beats bad finger as the first powerpop record

Can't believe I didn't listen to this back in the 60s, this is the first time I've ever heard this album and have to admit it's absolutely awesome 👌

Not sure whats that "exceptional" about this record. Certainly not better than the Sgt.

ok for flaked out seductophiles

Albums like sgt pepper and pet sounds really pushed the boundaries of album making with so different tapestries of sound and themes and illusions ✌️❤️

Such a rip off of 'For No one' by The Beatles.

I use to think Radiohead copied The Beatles, now I realize it's the Zombies who influenced them greater.

👍👍

It's a well done album. It has great melodic and harmonic content. However, it's, stylistically, an imitation of The Beatles. Of course The Beatles had huge commercial success, and when that happens, imitators jump on board. And, the public act like a herd (especially kids) so they buy the same thing en masse. Hence the Zombies sounding like an homage to The Beatles. Some of the songs have McCartney written all over them, stylistically.

Such a great album. A contender to the classics that came out during its time.

This is my first time listening to it and its obvious why it didnt go anywhere. Its a combo of the The beach boys Pet sounds and the beatles Stg pepper. No doubt that is how it was received upon its release.

This compares favorably to other better known psych/pop albums of the era, like 'Sgt. Pepper' and 'SMiLE'. I think the keyboard player went on to form the band Argent, of 'Hold Your Head Up' fame.

Absolutely fantastic album

Not a big 60s music guy generally (wasn't born until the 90s) but this album, forever changes by love and the beach boys pet sounds i absolutely love. Happy sad from tim buckley too and the Beatles magical mystery tour. Jefferson airplanes surrealistic pillow. Thinking about it i like quite a few albums of that era 🌞🐢

What if the Beach Boys were an English band! So good!!

A music masterpiece! should be in the rock& roll hall of fame!

A superb álbum ...But Care of Cell, A Rose for Emily and Bruef Candles are true jewels

Brilliant Album!👍🤓🎸

Fine fine stuff

A combination of Pet Sounds and Rubber Soul with hypnotic melodies unique to The Zombies

This is an incredible psychedelic album. Glad I discovered it today. ❤❤❤

I dont get it. I only like time of the season. It's like night and day compared to the other songs. Timeless song awesome

Paul wellers favourite album of all time

I'm still looking for an album where all the songs are fabulous. I've never found it, but this one at least approaches the ideal. Well done, Zombies! I especially like "A Rose for Emily" and "The Butcher's Tale". That one has just one instrument backing the vocals. The group was not getting along while they were making this, so it is an accomplishment. I just wish they had double-checked the spelling of the title.

Timeless music and feel !!!!

The first track is very reminiscent of Happy Together by The Turtles.

Qua grazie a Federico Frusciante

I cry to hear such astounding music. I only discovered the whole thing in the mid-80's, when it was universally recognized as perhaps the 3rd best rock record ever, behind Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper. Brilliant music moves me to tears more often than common emotionality ever would. This is real and raw.
